Godbliss and AZ Deliver a Lyrical Masterclass With “Firm Desperado”

On August 9th, Godbliss dropped his highly-anticipated single “Firm Desperado,” featuring legendary rapper AZ. This collaboration dives deep into the harsh realities of the streets and how the codes that once guided the culture have shifted. AZ, known for his work with The Firm alongside Nas and Foxy Brown, opens the track with a nostalgic verse reflecting on the evolution—or downfall—of street ethics: “shit done changed from my era… even chicks isn’t the same from my era.”

Godbliss follows with a potent verse that merges intellect and street knowledge, addressing the survival tactics in a world where the rules have changed. He cleverly compares adapting to today’s hustle to an octopus with multiple arms: “grew arms like an octopus with eight ways to get paid.”

This track highlights Godbliss’s knack for delivering deep, thought-provoking bars while staying true to the raw essence of hip-hop. “Firm Desperado” stands as a testament to both artists’ dedication to preserving real lyricism in a world increasingly dominated by trends.
